Summary
Whether you have lost your job, your identity, a friendship or a loved one...loss and grief will universally impact us all at some point. So how do we deal with it? Whats the right thing to say to someone who is struggling right now? How can you move on when you feel like your world has been turned upside down?Â
Lo is joined by certified master life coach and grief expert Krista Saint Germain to answer your questions and share perspective with a thoughtful conversation about death, grieving and healing.  When Krista's husband was killed by a drunk driver in 2016, her life was completely and unexpectedly flipped upside down. After therapy helped her uncurl from the fetal position, Krista discovered Life Coaching, Post Traumatic Growth and learned the tools she needed to move forward and create a future she could get excited about — now she coaches and teaches other widows so they too, can love life again.
Today she joins Lo to speak candidly about the right and wrong things to say to someone who is experiencing loss, why saying "time heals all wounds" does more harm than good and what the "6 stages of grief" got wrong about the human experience. They also share helpful tips for healing and coping for your emotional tool kit.Â
Buckle up putas...you're in for a healing ride on this one

| 0:15.4 | Hello, my friends. |
| 0:16.6 | Hello, my friends, bonjourno. Welcome one and all to a brand spanking new episode of the low-life podcast. |
| 0:22.5 | I'm your flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, white wine drinking, |
| 0:26.9 | talkie finger licking, ice coffee sipping, Target, overspending, hot mess of a host, Lorenzo von Rumpf. |
| 0:35.4 | And I'm so happy to be here with you today. There is no place I'd rather be than right here with my low lifers. I hope you're having a beautiful week and you're feeling good right now. But if you're in a weird headspace right now, if you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, stressed out, anxious, all of the above, don't you worry, boo-boo. Don't you fret. You have come to the right |
| 0:55.2 | place. We have a very special episode in store for you today. This one is definitely a healing |
| 1:00.1 | episode. This one is good for the heart. It's good for the soul. I'm so looking forward to |
| 1:04.5 | sharing this guest with you. Before we get into this week's episode, though, let's talk about |
| 1:08.7 | mental health. Nobody asked, but my mental health score |
| 1:12.2 | this week on a scale of one to 10, one being in the dumps, 5150 my ass, 10 being |
| 1:18.1 | euphoric bliss on cloud nine at a private resort in Bali. I'm definitely not there right now, |
| 1:23.9 | but I'm going to rate my mental health a solid 7.8 out of 10. I'm feeling pretty good, |
| 1:29.6 | but that's a good score for me. I'm going to ride this one to the wheels fall off. I feel like |
| 1:34.2 | I'm in a happy mood. It's ups and downs. I've been very emotional this week. And I know why. I just |
| 1:41.1 | have a lot on my plate, but also there's a full moon, baby. Full moon. It's a Pisces moon. If you're into astrology, then you know what I'm talking about. We're into astronomy. They're talking about it in the news right now. But there is a full blue moon happening. Starts August 30th and 31st, I believe. So with that, my fellow witchy kings and queens out there who love astrology, a Pisces full moon is an emotional time. Of course, with a full moon, it's a time to charge your crystals and manifest and its new beginnings. But again, because it's a Piscesful moon, there's a lot of emotion that comes with it. So it's time to have a good cry. You could be feeling extra emotional this week, |
| 2:17.7 | and that's probably why. And if you're a water sign, a cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, you're probably going to be feeling it a little bit more than the others. But it's nice to have a good cry once and a while. And so I'm going to the beach tonight, the full moon. I'm so excited to go out to the beach. I'm going to take a little chamo with me. |
| 2:34.0 | Oh my God, I took Shamu to the beach for the first time. |
| 2:36.0 | That also helped my mental health. |
| 2:38.0 | Oh, I took Shamu to the beach for the first time. That also helped my mental health. Oh, I was so excited to take Shamu, take his ass to the beach for the very first time because that's a place that brings me a lot of peace. But also, I wanted Shamu to get in touch with his orca roots. I wanted him to get in touch with his ancestors. |
| 2:53.1 | And so I took him to my favorite beach in Orange County. |
| 2:56.0 | We went out on the sand and he was obsessed. |
